Collier commissioners unanimously approve new 3,200-home rural village

Collier commissioners unanimously approve new 3,200-home rural village

Laura Layden | Fort Myers News-Press & Naples Daily News

With a unanimous vote, Collier commissioners approved a new rural village.

At a meeting Dec. 9, the board greenlighted the new village, known as Horse Trials.

The development is planned on nearly 1,218 acres on the north side of Oil Well Road, west of State Road 29. It’s the eighth village or town the county has approved in the environmentally sensitive Rural Lands Stewardship Area (RLSA).

The stewardship area, adopted nearly 20 years ago, encompasses 185,000 acres around Immokalee, east of Golden Gate Estates, with the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge to the south and the Okaloacoochee Slough State Forest to the north.

The voluntary RLSA program allows developers to build higher-density towns and villages on property with lower conservation value in exchange for preserving the most environmentally sensitive land through a credit system.
